Among all biometric features, fingerprints are the most commonly used because they contain ridges and valleys. There are challenges in recognizing child or infant fingerprints since the ridges are not mature as the hands are covered with a white substance and acquisition of fingerprint images is difficult. In the context of COVID-19 pandemic, contactless fingerprint acquisition gains importance as it is not infectious especially with children. In this study, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based children recognition system named Child-CLEF, that uses Contact-Less Children Fingerprint (CLCF) dataset acquired using a mobile phone-based scanner is proposed. The quality of captured fingerprint images is enhanced using a hybrid image enhancement method. Furthermore, the minutiae features are extracted using the proposed Child-CLEF Net model and the identification of children is made using a matching algorithm. The proposed system is tested with a self-captured children fingerprint dataset, CLCF and publicly available PolyU fingerprint dataset. It is found that the proposed system outperforms the existing fingerprint recognition systems in terms of accuracy and equal error rate.","PeriodicalId":73455,"journal":{"name":"International journal of information technology : an official journal of Bharati Vidyapeeth's Institute of Computer Applications and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10257895/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10073219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A large number of workers were affected and hospitalized during the pandemic. This situation is costing the sector heavily in several respects. This research study was conducted as part of using machine learning algorithms to improve construction company health and safety policies. LOS (length of stay) is used to predict how long a patient will stay in a hospital. Predicting LOS is very useful not only for hospitals, but also for construction companies to measure resources and reduce costs. Predicting LOS has become an important step in most hospitals before admitting patients. In this post, we used the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care(MIMIC III) dataset and applied four different machine learning algorithms: decision tree classifier, random forest, Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and logistic regression. First, I performed data pre-processing to clean up the dataset. In the next step, we performed function selection using the Select Best algorithm with an evaluation function of chi2 to perform hot coding. We then performed a split between training and testing and applied a machine learning algorithm. The metric used for comparison was accuracy. After implementing the algorithms, the accuracy was compared. Random forest was found to perform best at 89%. Afterwards, we performed hyperparameter tuning using a grid search algorithm on a random forest to obtain higher accuracy. The final accuracy is 90%. This kind of research can help improve health security policies by introducing modern computational techniques, and can also help optimize resources.","PeriodicalId":73455,"journal":{"name":"International journal of information technology : an official journal of Bharati Vidyapeeth's Institute of Computer Applications and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10250170/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10091880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bitcoin operates on blockchain technology, and its value is not a determinant of the value of a tangible asset, an organisation, or a country's economy. Instead, it relies on an encryption technique that allows tracking of all transactions. Globally, over $2 trillion has been generated through cryptocurrency trading. Due to these financial prospects, the youths in Nigeria have cashed in on this virtual currency to create employment and wealth. This research investigates the adoption and sustainability of bitcoin and blockchain in Nigeria. A survey method with a non-probability purposive sampling technique and a homogeneous approach was employed to collect 320 responses via an online survey. Descriptive and correlational analysis in IBM SPSS version 25 was used to analyse the collected data. According to the findings, bitcoin is the most popular cryptocurrency, with 97.5% acceptance, and is expected to be the leading virtual currency in the next five years. The research findings will help researchers and authorities comprehend the need for cryptocurrency adoption, leading to its sustainability.","PeriodicalId":73455,"journal":{"name":"International journal of information technology : an official journal of Bharati Vidyapeeth's Institute of Computer Applications and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10249925/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9742567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed Debunking Multi-Lingual Social Media Posts using Deep Learning (DSMPD) approach offers a promising solution to detect fake news. The DSMPD approach involves creating a dataset of English and Hindi social media posts using web scraping and Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques. This dataset is then used to train, test, and validate a deep learning-based model that extracts various features, including Embedding from Language Models (ELMo), word and n-gram counts, Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF), sentiments, polarity, and Named Entity Recognition (NER). Based on these features, the model classifies news items into five categories: real, could be real, could be fabricated, fabricated, or dangerously fabricated. To evaluate the performance of the classifiers, the researchers used two datasets comprising over 45,000 articles. Machine learning (ML) algorithms and Deep learning (DL) model are compared to choose the best option for classification and prediction.","PeriodicalId":73455,"journal":{"name":"International journal of information technology : an official journal of Bharati Vidyapeeth's Institute of Computer Applications and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10239612/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10073697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
